I just signed with a new company this week that essentially acts as a promotion with a bigger pay, and better benefits and perks.

This all happened because I was recommended for the position. Personally, being recommended is a great feeling since you know the person who recommended you believes and trusts your skill.

I wrote my first blog on Agents; AWS DevOps Agent introduced in re:Invent 2025

dev.to/aws-builders/aws-devops-age...

Blog talks

Architecture, Security, How to Improve context
Shows 2 demo on how to investigate Cloudwatch Error, EKS Error using AWS DevOps Agent with tf code
Shared a DevOps Engineer perspective whether it can replace us or not?

Give it a try and let me know what you think

Wow, that sounds impressive. I din't see an event. Is this AI-powered agent?

Jatin Mehrotra • Dec 10 '25

This was update given in Aws re:Invent 2025. Yes this AI powered uses AWS FM models behind the scenes

A minor success with sandboxing Python code.. securely, ultra low execution time.

nice!

Aman Saxena • Dec 5 '25

After 5 years, I started competitive coding.
Somehow, I have a feeling in my bones that we all may need to go back to the core Data structure and algorithm days in this era of AI.

i just finished up a personal project right at month 6 of my sabbatical. didn't spend the whole time on it, mostly traveled, but it feels good to get back into some work. shared a few thoughts on dev.to but might read a bit self-promo. will get back to a more interesting post about ai-coding prod-ready extensions without spaghetti code.
